Day 9--The Giant Mechanical Man (2012)

I kept seeing this pop up on the Netflix but nothing in the short description really moved me to want to watch it.  I thought it was going to be one of those super indie films with the really dry humor that yes I enjoy watching after a while but is never my first choice to start watching.  But I was in for a treat when this film was everything that I look for in a good romantic funny movie.  It starred Jenna Fischer, a young woman kind of lost in knowing what she wants in life, drifting from temp job to temp job she becomes fascinated by a street performer as a giant mechanical man.  Chris Messina plays the mechanical man and another lost soul that just wants to make people happy.  Break ups, getting evicted, and applying for a job at the local zoo brings these two lost people together. 

And as an extra treat, Topher Grace is a long haired self-help guru that is annoying as you'd expect him to be.  

All in all it’s a very simple movie that made me cry and got everything right.
